No hands on experience - am I eligible to apply?


Recommended Posts

I have 150 hours of volunteering and 52 hours of shadowing. GRE- 294. But I don't have any hands on clinical experience. Am I eligible to apply? Would they consider my application even I don't have clinical patient care experience. In the website they mentioned that clinical experience is required. Last year I didn't see anything like this. I believe they added it this year. Please advice.

No, you're ineligible to apply to Trevecca for the following reasons taken directly from their website:

  • "Applicants are required to complete the Grade Record Exam (GRE) and achieve a minimum score of 300."
  • "Clinical experience is required.  An applicant must log at least 250 hours of direct patient care."
  • "Shadowing, volunteering, and medical mission exposure does not count toward direct patient care hours."

That said, don't give up if becoming a PA is what you desire.
